- 50g butter, softened
- 50g caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 65g ground almonds
- 1 tbsp rum (optional)
- 3 croissants
- 3 pain au chocolat
- 25g flaked almonds
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 4. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar in a small bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in the egg, ground almonds and rum (if using).
3. Using a serrated knife, split open the pastries horizontally, without cutting all the way through. Reserve 1½ tbsp of the almond mixture and spread the remainder inside the pastries. Fold back to enclose the filling and place on the baking trays.
4. Spread the reserved almond mixture on top of the pastries and scatter over the flaked almonds. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until heated through and golden. Serve warm or cold.
